Description

NGC3603 is best known for the 2011 Hubble image of its central star cluster. Amateur astrophotographers seldom image it alone, but rather as a lesser half with the more famous NGC3576, the Statue of Liberty nebula. This high-resolution portrait of NGC3603 was processed in the HST palette with care not to diminish its varied shades of cyan, created by the combination of Ha and OIII.
